"Crap, Planted Stories": Ravi Shastri Lifts Lid On Conspiracy Against Hardik Pandya
Former India coach Ravi Shastri feels the fan backlash towards Hardik Pandya could have been avoided had Mumbai Indians shown "clarity in communication" while announcing him as captain. Shastri also advised Pandya to stay calm and weather the storm with solid performances. "This is not the Indian cricket team that's playing. This is franchise cricket. They have paid top dollar. They are the bosses. It's their entitlement as to who they want as captain. Okay, where I think this could have been handled better was with more clarity in communication," Shastri said told Star Sports' 'Cricket Live Show'.
